Yes the triggers are case hardened! If you cut thru the case you can run into problems. They are a hunting rifle! there is no need for a match trigger 3-4# is about as good as it gets. The odds of these rifles shooting very well from the factory is a coin toss for sure! The chambers are huge & the lockup is for the most part sloppy! The Rossi comes from the factory with a much better trigger.. Still, same thing, sloppy chamber & locking system. The chamber in my 223 is so large that I normally buy 222 rem mag brass & size it to better fit the chamber. Otherwise look for alot of brass distorsion with 223 brass.
